Abstract
Bishop and Associates, Inc. just released a six-chapter report providing a
roadmap for the Connector Industry. This new 2006 report provides industry
roadmaps on connector technology, connector market segments, product
categories, long-term forecasts, and some input on other electronic components
and product sectors. The report is organized into the following segments:
- Executive Summary
- Technology Roadmaps
- Long Term Forecasts
- Overview
- Industry Trends
- Electronics Industry Roadmaps
- Technology Trends
- Product Roadmaps
Information used to create this report includes input from Bishop and
Associates and other key industry sources. This report is more market oriented
and connector specific than the important iNEMI national technology roadmap.
This new report from Bishop & Associates identifies areas where roadblocks or
other barriers will occur, and where industry forces are moving in a direction
that will impact connector applications. There are forces at work that will
shape future connector use, and in some cases radically change or eliminate
traditional connector applications.
Connectors are an important component of electronic equipment, accounting for
approximately two-percent of total equipment value. Although a small
percentage, connectors represent billions of units in many different product
categories. They provide separable interconnects to circuit elements during
test, assembly, upgrade, repair, and connect peripherals, batteries, antennas,
wires, cables, etc.
